Del Chiaro Pereira Advogados

‘Highly specialised in complex antitrust matters’, boutique firm Del Chiaro Pereira Advogados is singled out for its impressive historical track record in landmark cases in an array of industries, including steel, automotive, consumer products, technology, digital markets and financial services. Behavioural work, including major investigations into anti-competitive conduct and cartels, and competition litigation are at the core of the practice, which is ‘able to use valuable international practice and case law from other relevant jurisdictions as a driver for local authorities’ assessments’. Merger control issues are also handled by the department, which is under the joint leadership of competition law veteran José Del Chiaro and Ademir Antonio Pereira Júnior, the latter of whom has led several investigations and merger review cases in traditional industries and the digital economy. Luiz Felipe Rosa Ramos, ‘a rising star in the firm’s constellation’, advises on conduct cases, merger filings, and leniency and settlement agreements. Associate Mariana de Azevedo Castro César is another name to note for merger proceedings and investigations into cartels and unilateral conduct.
